Step 4: Copy the Files
The next step is copying the necessary files from the BIND name
server to the Windows 2000 server. You’ll need to copy the name
server configuration file, called the boot file
(which is usually /etc/named.boot) and all the
zone data files for which the BIND server is a primary master. The
zone data files will be in the directory specified by the
directory directive in the boot file. The files
should be copied to the
%SystemRoot%\system32\dns directory on the
Windows 2000 server. The named.boot file goes in
that directory, too, but you need to rename it to just
boot. One final note: only the
primary, secondary, and
cache directives are supported. Any other
directives are ignored.
